Research Says Drinking Wine Is More Important Than Exercise
No one plans on living forever, but most of us would like to live as long as possible. The idea of adding more candles to your birthday cake every year sounds amazing. We’re here with some good news. You might actually be able to do so with a glass of wine.
Scientists have tried to find the secret to a longer life throughout the years. A study, named The 90+ Study, focused on the oldest of the old, that is, people above 90, to figure out what has kept them going for so long.
The team of experts was trying to answer several questions and to determine the factors linked to a longer life. Participants did neurological and neurophysiological tests twice every year, and information about their medical history, diet, activities and lifestyle habits were carefully collected by the researchers. The researchers found that people who consumed one to two glasses of beer, wine, or other alcoholic drinks per day had a 9-15 percent lower likelihood of dying compared to those who abstain from all forms of drink. Participants who exercised 15 to 45 minutes a day cut the same risk of mortality by 15-35 percent.”
Yet, they note that the key is moderation. Professor Jim Becker stresses the importance of moderation as well: “The data are generally consistent with the idea that moderate intake of certain kinds of drinks, and in particular red wines, is associated with certain positive health outcomes.
But that doesn’t mean that if you suddenly decide at the age of 70 to start drinking now that that’s necessarily the solution.”
Dr. Steven Lamm, MD, clinical professor adds: “Alcohol injures every organ in your body. It’s a poison. However, there is a paradox and that is that a moderate amount of alcohol reduces the risk of heart disease.” The Mayo Clinic recommends one drink to people older than 65, and two drinks to men younger than this age. Studies have shown that moderate consumption lowers the risk of diabetes, stroke, and death due to heart disease.
Therefore, feel free to enjoy a glass of wine or beer with your lunch or dinner, but never go overboard. Excessive consumption can lead to severe health issues and a heightened risk of death from all causes.
